Syntheses of carbocyclic aminonucleosides and (-)-epi-4'-carbocyclic puromycin: Application of palladium(0)/indium iodide-allylations and tethered aminohydroxylations

Tetrahedron Lett. 2010 Jun 9;51(23):3053-3056. doi: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2010.04.006.

Abstract

Carbocyclic aminonucleosides and epi-4'-carbocyclic puromycin were prepared from an acylnitroso-derived hetero Diels-Alder cycloadduct. Pd(0)/InI-mediated allylations of a formyl species were used to install the 4'-hydroxymethyl group. A tethered aminohydroxylation strategy was employed to install the cis-2',3'-aminoalcohol moiety with complete regio- and diastereocontrol.
